1998 - 2003 by the GreatGreatGreat

This album comprises carefully selected highlights from a year of creative liberation and self-realization by the dynamic duo, The Great Great Great. Over the course of a year, they undertook the creative challenge of individually producing "One Song a Day" for three distinct months. Through peaks and valleys, the duo has learned the invaluable lessons of pushing oneself to set aside ego and preconceived notions about music composition, instead, just creating. They've experienced the flow state, faced adversity, and emerged with profound insights into their respective creative processes, now possessing a deeper understanding of themselves and the creative boundaries they can break.

This compilation is the result, offering a best-of catalog featuring some of the standout hits from these intensive months. Out of a total of 180 songs produced within the year, 30 have been meticulously chosen to represent the culmination of their artistic journey. Welcome to an exploration of creativity, self-discovery, and the magic that happens when two minds dedicate themselves to the art of daily songwriting. Enjoy the fruits of their labor.
